Sibling saga

Keisuke Yumiba, a man who chose to live out of his car for the last 12 months, was arrested over the weekend. Whilst using his car as a home isn’t crime, it could be construed as suspicious when for the same period of time his brother’s rotting corpse had been left in the apartment they used to share.

Local residents in the housing estate in Kanagawa Prefecture had complained of a vile smell, and the resultant investigation uncovered 29-year-old Kenichi Yumiba’s corpse.

The body showed no sign of external injury, but the police have yet to disclose if the autopsy revealed the cause of the elder brother’s death.
